J Rules Committee is the desire J of New Dealers to speed through j Congress their programs to vast jly increase government spend -1 ing and to tighten govenment controls over industry. ■ There is a real danger that they may succeed when Con gress reconvenes on January 3 particularly if the number of New Dealers in the House should be increased as a result of the November 8 elections. The only thing that definitely will remove the threat is the election on November 3 of a conservative majority of House members. Supporters of the Rules Com -1 mittee point out that it per forms an essential function. It serves as a “traffic cop” to de termine what legislation approv ed by the other House com mittees should be sent to the floor for a vote, what should be modified, and what should be held up to permit further consideration. This procedure serves as a ; restraint against precipitate I House passage of bills which have been considered only by members of one committee, most of whom may be interested only in doing favors for a spe cial group of persons. Many House members, for ex ample, jump at an opportunity to serve on the Labor Commit tee so that they may be in a position to act on legislation in a manner calculated to woo the votes of union members. Measures approved by the La bor Committee and by other House committees as well—must, it is contended, go before the Rules Committee so that the leg islation may be considered —and acted on—in the light of the na tional interest. But the New Dealers are aroused against the Rules Com mittee because it held up the progress of some of their pet measures—all opposed by indus try—during the 1960 session of Congress. Senator Kennedy, the Demo cratic presidential nominee, is among those who have indicated support of the campaign to re strict the committee’s authority. Rules Committee champions make clear that it cannot kill legislation that a majority of members really desire. There are other procedures available to by-pass the committee. But it can delay final action until the House members are afford ed an opportunity to inform themselves as to the effects of legislative proposals. Legislation which the New i Dealers want to speed through Congress, by limiting the au thority of the Rules Committee, includes measures to authorize federal subsidies for education, housing and area redevelopment and to legalize situs picketing and secondary boycotts at con struction sites. The Rules Committee, during the 1960 session, failed to clear these- proposals for consideration by the House. All, for one rea son or another, failed of enact ment. Other legislation advocated by the New Dealers—the progress of which might be speeded if the Rules Committee were ren dered less effective includes measures to. 1. Increase the minimum wage above SI.OO an hour and to broaden coverage of the Wage- Hour Act. 2. Expand the social security system—and increase social se curity taxes —to provide addi tional medical care for the eld °r’" i 3. Require advan6e'’" , TK>tice , 't6 federal agencies of corporate I mergers. 4. Exnand the power of the Justice Department to seize in- 1 Tna ouwAw hiSiUA SOgwTCR. KGSmS CASOtSiA. TmSaSDAT.

Require advance notice to federal agencies of price increas es —and a defense of the in crease at a public hearing. 7. Authorize multi-billion-dol lar spending programs for an 1 infinitude of projects designed to win voter approyal. Other similar measures could be mentioned, but these are suf ficient to emphasize the poten tial danger to the nation that could fiow from a restriction of the Rules Committee’s func tions. Since 1937, a coalition of southern Democrats and conser vative Republicans on the Rules Committee has served to protect the nation against enactment of' a vast variety of harmful legisla tion. Conservatives in Congress— and elsewhere-now are seeking to do everything possible to as sure that this protection remains unimpaired. To talk the right and live the wrong is foolish deceit, doing one’s self the most harm. —Mary Baker Eddy.
